1.	State any four achievements of the Human Genome Project.
Answer» Achievement of Human Genome Project: • Human genome is largely consisting of – 3 × 10⁹ base pairs a lot of repeated sequences. • 3 billion base pairs were translated into biologically meaningful information by using computers and it led to a new field of bioinformatics. • Human genome sequencing will enable a new approach to biological research. • Understanding of function of biological systems increases in public and private sectors due to knowledge from DNA sequences. • More than 1200 genes are associated with common human disorders such as Cardio- . Vascular diseases, diabetes, (endocrine disease), Alzheimer disease (neurological disorder). • Efforts for health care are being made to design drugs, genetically modified diets, nutraceuticals etc.
